As American-born, English-speaking doctors are becoming the minority, I think all companies should openly state what percentage of ESL will be encountered in a new job and then ask 1 year of experience for each percentage of ESL; e.g. 40% ESL (the maximum I can personally tolerate) 4 years experience plus a differential in the line rate, too. What do y'all think? ...

When you get NJA you have the 3 options as we did before. When you choose to "make up time", at the very end of the explaination, it says something along the line of entering a leave request on teamwork for excused no pay? This only makes sense if in fact you cannot or do not make up the time, but the policy does not explain it that way. Example: You work 2 hours and get NJA. You have 6 hours to make up and can only make up 4. The remaining 2 hours must be en ...

I really don't see what it matters now that we don't get PTO and if we aren't getting paid for it so what. Seems stupid to me that they would care how much time we have off if they aren't paying us anyway but anyone know now the most days you can take for the year part time and full time? I know they took away PTO for part timers and cut it for full time but wasn't sure of the new rules. Also, when does it start over again if you used up your unpaid time off days. ...

I've had a clinic in WA state refuse to release to me or my new PCP some archived files I had sent to them from my doctor in San Francisco. A local hospital MR department said that the files are mine since I paid for them and that they absolutely should have told me why they were refusing to release these particular files--I was just repeatedly refused. I was told that there is a HIPAA clause that permits re-release of such documents, but I'm having trouble finding t ...

Does anyone know the BOS rule for drug names that are technically all caps, i.e., TUMS, GRALISE? Do they stay all caps or is it okay to capitalize just the first letter, or is it company/client preference? QA is telling me just to capitalize the first letter so as not to draw more attention than needed to the drug name in the report, but I can't document this in the Book of Style. Thanks in advance! ...

If you feel yours are counting against you, copy and paste the paragraph and send it to your CCM. ...

I've been correcting it, but since I'm seeing it all the time, I'm wondering if this rule isn't followed anymore and, if this rule is still in place, they need to start training these ...
